Rakshasa Avatar
After the meal.
Dales wanted to arrange for Zhou Qing and the others to stay in the guest rooms, but was refused.
On the way to You Hui's house, Tang San asked, "I don't quite understand why Dales agreed?"
Previously, Zhou Qing demanded 70%, which was an outrageous demand. Tang San was prepared to take action immediately, but unexpectedly Dales agreed immediately.
That's really strange!
"It's simple. He knows he can't beat us, so he has to appease us first, both morally and logically, especially since you were glaring at us with eyes that looked like you wanted to kill us. And Xiao Wu showed her strength, ambushing and instantly killing two Soul Grandmaster. How could he not be afraid?"
What does "sneak attack" mean?
Xiao Wu retorted, "That was a frontal attack!"
"Yes, yes, yes, a frontal ambush." Zhou Qing teased, then continued to Tang San, "And another reason he agreed was because he wanted him to think that I was the same kind of person as him... Xiao Wu did a good job in this regard, she didn't jump out immediately."
"Hmph, Sister Xiao Wu is quite perceptive!" Praised, Xiao Wu naturally held her head high, but no matter how high she held her head, it couldn't change her open and honest nature.
At the same time.
Inside the City Lord's Mansion, Dales was furious, cursing, "That Zhou Qing actually wants 70% of the remaining 60%! Damn it! No wonder he's from a peasant background, so greedy!"
Then, he cursed at the three kneeling Soul Grandmaster: "And you three, you're all so incompetent, getting taught a lesson by a little girl!"
After cursing for a while, Dales was parched and waved his hand, saying, "Get out of here, it's annoying to watch."
"Yes." X3
The three Soul Grandmaster dared not linger any longer and hastily retreated.
After that, the Soul Grandmaster he had previously sent out crawled in through the side door, knelt on one knee, and said, "My lord, I have already arranged everything at Falling Star Slope."
"Hmm, have you found any trace of Hu Fangyuan?" This was what Dales was most concerned about.
"No."
The man shook his head. "He may have really escaped. After all, this matter has become quite big. If the Spirit Hall Sub-hall or even the Main Hall sends people to investigate, he, a Soul Ancestor, cannot fight against it. Moreover, even if his ancestors have been planning for many years, most of the arrangements in Falling Star City have already been destroyed, and it is no longer possible to succeed."
"Rational."
Dales waved the man away and said, "Don't come to Falling Star City again. Just stay in Falling Star Slope. I will take good care of your wife and daughter. Don't worry about them."
"Yes, ma'am."
The Soul Grandmaster sighed inwardly, left the house, quietly climbed over the City Lord's Mansion, and groped along the South Gate wall until he found a dog hole and crawled out.
Then, Dales summoned the butler he had brought from Star Luo City, took out a Human Skin Mask that looked exactly like his own, and said, "You've been by my side for many years, and you've become quite chubby, with a figure almost identical to mine. Wear this when necessary."
This Human Skin Mask was obtained from Hu Fangyuan by Dales after they became acquainted, for future use.
Zhou Qing clearly intended to kill him, so he had to be on guard. Therefore, he needed to find a scapegoat.
"Yes, sir."
The butler respectfully accepted the Human Skin Mask, put it on, and found it to fit snugly behind his ears, making him look exactly like Dales.
As long as the Martial Soul is not released, almost no one can tell the difference between the person in front of them and Dales.
"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!"
Dales clapped his hands in approval and told the butler to remove the mask, to put it back on only when necessary. Afterward, he went to the study, opened the passage, and entered the secret room.
Dales walked straight to the table, fumbled around underneath for a while, found a hidden compartment, and pulled out a piece of parchment.
"Rakshasa Avatar? Heh, I didn't expect you to have such Secret Art hidden, Hu Fangyuan."
Rakshasa Avatar —this is a method for creating puppets.
Each Rakshasa Avatar requires the bones of 206 people to be pieced together, and then the bones are infused with the soul's blood to create corresponding Rakshasa Inscription. This process is used to condense the souls and spirits of the 206 Resentful Souls, thereby imbuing the avatar with powerful strength.
It would be better to forge it with the bones of Soul Master.
The four skeletons here were pieced together from the bones of ordinary people collected by Hu Fangyuan and his ancestors. Although they did not originate from Soul Master, once activated, each one could unleash combat power comparable to that of Soul Elder.
However, to utilize it, one final step is required: to gather a vast amount of Heaven and Earth Energy to truly connect the patterns engraved inside the bones. This means refining all 206 bones to make them truly become one.
Soul Power is also acceptable, but one must at least reach the Soul Saint-level to possess enough Soul Power to fully refine a Rakshasa Avatar.
One of the reasons for setting up the giant Soul Tool Core Formation in Falling Star City was to truly complete the refinement of these four Rakshasa Avatar.
Unfortunately—
"The plan has failed!"
Dales stored the four semi-finished Rakshasa Avatar into his Storage Soul Tool Belt at his waist. He then took a closer look at the parchment scroll that recorded the creation and control of the Rakshasa Avatar and found that there was a map engraved on the back with the four large characters "City of Slaughter" marked on it.
"The City of Slaughter? What kind of place is that? A gathering place for the Fallen Ones?"
Dales frowned, but didn't think much of it. He simply stuffed the parchment into a small pouch on his storage Belt and left the secret room, intending to take good care of the wife and daughter of the Soul Grandmaster who was about to sacrifice himself...
The next morning.
Just as Zhou Qing and the others finished breakfast, Dales personally led a group of people over and invited them to the square in Falling Star City, where a simple stage had been built with wooden planks.
Because the residents of Falling Star City were digging up the Soul Sand and Soul Crystal under the roads, and some streets were even blocked by mud and sand, Dales cursed and walked around several streets before finally reaching the square.
By this time, a large crowd had gathered around the square, all eager to see what Dales was up to.
"What do you think the city lord wants to do with this stage?"
"It's probably about agreeing on the acquisition of Soul Sand."
"Speaking of which, what price do you think the city lord will offer? I've heard that in those big cities, Soul Sand can sell for anywhere from one to ten Gold Soul Coin Gold Soul Coin pound!"
"We're in a small town. I estimate he'll give us at most five Silver Soul Coin per pound."
"So little?"
"You should be content. If we want to sell Soul Sand to big cities, we have to pull strings or lead a team out of the city ourselves. How many risks are there along the way? Let's just have less. Five Silver Soul Coin is fine. At least the amount of Soul Sand I dug up yesterday, if sold, would be equivalent to three years of my work."
The common people were discussing it, but their main concern was how much money they could make from the Soul Sand they had dug up, rather than eradicating the Fallen Ones. Even if they wanted to, they knew they didn't have the ability to eradicate the Fallen Ones. They decided to let the officials figure it out; at most, they would donate some money and wouldn't have to confront the Fallen Ones directly.
